Photographed Sandhill Cranes in New Mexico a couple of weeks ago. Followed especially their landings and take-offs. Take-offs were full of rituals which they followed every single time. This photo captured the very last moment before they started to run for take-off. via Tumblr http://ift.tt/1JlcoPs

This was taken a few years ago at White Sands National Monument in the summer when wildfires were sweeping through the American southwest. Due to the particulate matter in the sky from the fires, the sunset was much redder than normal, and this had the effect of making the snow-white sand appear purple as the sun touched the horizon. via Tumblr http://bit.ly/1HFEdkK
